Description

Beginning with the aftermath of Columbus' arrival, the conquest of Cuba and Hispaniola and the period of the Conquistadors, the author traces the history of Latin America through the heyday of the Spanish and Portuguese empires and the independence struggles of the 19th century, to the difficulties and dilemmas of the independent states today, weaving into the narrative a masterly synthesis of the economic, political and cultural problems and achievements of the region.
